Army Panics.

Napier, in his "PeninsuIar War
devotes but some eight or nine lines
to an account ofthe most remarkable
recorded incident of this nature, ir
which Robert Crauford's celebrated
light division-consisting of those
three distinguished regiments, the
fifty-third, the fifty-second and the
ninety -ffth-were seized and put tc
flight by an attack OF fear so sudder
and causeless that the historian makes
no attempt whatever to ascribe a rea
son for it. 1.-THE light division" he
writes, "encamped in a pine wood
where happened one of'those extraor
dinary panics attributed III ancient
times to the influence of god. Nc
enemy was near, no alarm given, wher
suddenly the troops, as if seized with
a frenzy, started from sleep and dis
appeared in every direction; nor was
their any possibility of allaying this
strange terror, until some persons
called out that the enemy's cavalry
were among them, when the soldiers
mechanically ran together, and the
illusion was dissipated." 1t seems ode
that SO ditfuse writer should have
seen fit to say so little of so extraor
dinary an occurrence, mopsr esoecially
when. We remember that this same
light division was the flower of the
1 British army in the peninsula, anc
that he writes OF it not. many pages
before "as composed Of three Regiments

a flaw in the system, nor were they

the rusty latch gave way and the door
swung open.
AS they stood in the doorway the
flood OF gray twilight poured into the
old mill, and through the clouds Of
dust which the opening OF the door
had raised they saw Peter Fame, lean
ing against post, with averted face
as if watching the revolving mill-stones.
Hey! Peter Fane!" they shouted,
"are you deaf that you did not heed
all the racket that we made?"
But Peter Fame never stirred nor
answered their inquiry. A feeling OF
awe began slowly to creep over them
as they advanced, and one, bolder
than the rest, streatched out his hand
to put it on the elder mans shoulder
and attract his attention. But sud
denly he paused, and the out streached
arm dropped to his side, for he saw
that in truth that Peter Fame would
hear no moro earthly voices-for Peter
Fame was dead.
There was no corn in the hopper, no
meal in the bin; but yet the mill
clacked on, grinding the air and Peter
Fane,s cold and rigid body stood as if
watching it.
Who was the stranger? Who were
the guests that had visited the old
man the night before? Peter Fame

The New York Tribune, Aug. 10, says: The Rev.

and Sligo last winter, came to this country and
settled for time as Father Wards assistant at
the Church OF st. Charles Borromeo In Brooklyn.

tically starving himself for over week. He was
known both IN New York and Brooklyn as an
ardent Irish nationalist and writer of patriotic
verses. He was fOrty-1ve years old, tall and
powerfully built, with striking head and
face. His habits were tribe eccentric and
he got into trouble occasionally through
his peculiarities. He stayed with Father
Ward Tor five or six months and from St. Charles
BOrrOneO he went over to live with some friends
in New York, coming back to Brooklyn In July.
He took rooms in the Boston House, in Atlantic

seen sitting on the park benches on the Battery
In New York. From Sunday, July 81, Till last sun
he Is not known to have eaten anything, locking
himself up In his room for the greater part or the
day and refusing to go to meals or have even toast
sent up to him. Last Saturday morning Father
Ward was notified or his late assistants queer be-.

would pay no attention to the rector On Sunday
he became unconscious and on the advice of q phy-
Sictan who was called In was taken TO St Peters

VISCOUNT DAIGNAUT AND JOURNALIST BOIyIN MEET
In ROMANTIC SPOT.
A special to the New York World from Montreal,
August T. says: The cause OF the duel on Mount
Royal on Friday, and reported in to-day'S papers,
is said to be that the Viscount Daignan had called
M. BOivin, newspaper man. a prevaricator-to
put it mildly. Then there was a challenge, sec
onds were named and the spot agreed on. The
seconds selected very romantic spot on the south
side Of Mount Royal. The last duel fought in
Montreal was thirty years ago, when Danton and
Sir George CARRIER sent bullets at each other. The
occasion was happily, bloodlesS.
Two cabs drove up to The foot of the mountain

third contained an embryo physician. The sec

used that the distance should be twenty PAGES,

tley could hit nothing but atmosphere anyhow.
The Shades OF Mount Royal made every thing

principals took their places again and the word

fire. The seconds agreed that the honor or both
men were satisfied.
The belligerents had chosen experienced men as

the pistols with ball cartridges Bullets were imi-
